Bald men at greater heart disease risk, study findsBut the other three studies, which compared the health of bald and balding men against those with a full head of hair, found that men with hair loss were 70 per cent more likely to have heart disease, increasing to 84 per cent in younger age groups.

Bald men at greater heart disease risk, study finds
This study verges on the edge of junk science as the three studies they mention, no double blind, by the way, dealt mainly with men who had started the balding process at an abstractly early age. Tieing the genetics of balding to the possiblity of heart disease is right up there with saying, if you have toes you may stub one. I don't say there isn't some correctness but it's the sort of story the media loves. And now for a reality check. If you shave your head, and only had the modest form of male pattern baldness, then this, too, has no impact on your future life. The obvious must be those of us who shaved our heads because we wanted to are unaffected. Only in the rarest of personsi is there no hair loss so, if fifteen years ago, you took it all off, and you've just grown it back, you may well discover significant hair loss. But look at the rest of you"; Haven't some other bits and pieces changed as well?
